6 THE & ungMQDB DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1891. THE RESULT, When it was recently announced that Thornton Wheatley’s usual pilgrimage had been made to the Eastern markets, the public waited to see in these columns, the report of what had been done for their benefit in the way of novelties in goods and revelations in low prices. Art! -ijigs being now Ready fob the *’Ei8T,the people of Americas and the surrounding country are invited to come. They are not ex pected to have on their Wedding Garments, for Wheatley's is the Place where the people must go to be properly decked out, for an appearance, either at a feast or at business; and nobody can have the trade mark that n Perfectly Dressed Man always bears, untii r after they have been to - WORLD’S FAIR ROTES. and have been supplied, with Uiters Patent of P.iegaxce ! By that establishment. The Times-Recordeb isn’t half BIO enough to hold even a cat alogue of the Elegant Goods, and the Ecpeb-Elkgantly Low Prices attached. Only the general heads can here be outlined ; the true inwardness of the feast can’t be understood until the guests go through the whole Bill of Fare in person at Wheatley’s. No sncli complete and elegant stock of Gentlemen’s, Youths’ and eoy*’ has ever been brought to Americas and the MOST ASTONISHING THING about them is the LOW PRICES! HATS! Stiff and crushed,' that CANNOT FAIL TO SUIT. A specialty in GENTLEMEN'S UNDERWEAR: Scriven’s Patent Elastic Seam Drawers, and the Cosmopolitan Shirt8 in snits or in separate garments, FROM THE VERT CHEAPEST TO THE VERT FINEST. A handsomer line of DRESS SHIRTS, TIES, SCARFS AND HANDKERCHIEFS was never seen in Americas. Fait Blk. Hose, ABSOLUTELY STAIN, LESS, ONLY 25o PER PAIR. KID GLOVES, Dressed and undressed; all colors, grades and prices. ATTENTION MOTHERS! Boys’ Shirt Waists, 85c to $1.85, Boys’ Jersey Suits} 8 to 8 years. Boys’ Clothing in all styles and prices. UMBRELLAS enough to stand off a CLOUD-BURST T Satchels and Bags enough to hold all the elegant goods at Wheatley’s that you will need when yon go abroad and want to present a first-class and stylish appearanoe Every Long, Lean, Fat, Short, Big, Little Man in a dozen coun ties can get JUST THE FIT in the odd sizes and lengths stock that is carried at Thornton Wheatley’s. LIFE WILL BE A BURDEN to all who spend their money else where, and nnd when too late that they missed getting the choicest and best bargains in the neatest and most stylish goods ever brought to this market. DON’T MAKE SUCH A MIS TAKE, bnt go to Wheatleyla and get yonrself made solid. Remember the place: ’ Thorakw Wheatley’s Comer, So-called became yon can get a “corner” for the smallest cash con sideration, upon the largest, cheapo est and finest goods ever shown in Americas. Pensylvania’s exposition building will cost 175,000. The Florida Horticultural Society has asked for three acres In which to show an orange grovo and make a fruit dis play. South Dakota is now engaged in rais ing $80,000 for its representation at the Exposition. It proposes to erect a build ing 144 feet square. Indiana will have a $100,000 building at the fair. It will not cost that much, however, as a large share of the material, ail of which will come from that state, will be donated. Thi State Department at Washington has been notified that Russia has ap pointed its Royal World's Fair Commis sion, and that the president of its Privy, Councillor lieh , Director of rho lie. partment.of Finance. The general passenger agents of twenty of the railroads entering Chicago have organistd a Hpeeinl association for M e determination of excursion rates to the exposition and f,,r arranging facilities for caring for the enormous crowds of visitors to the Fair. The owners of one of the finest busi ness corners in Chicago have decided to erect a $1,000,000 lfl-story building, to be called “The Columbus,” in honor of America's discoverer. The plans con template a structure strikingly ornste and artistic, of the Spanish stylo of arch itecture. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany Intends to frame handsomely the first telegraph message ever sent, which was in May, 1844, and exhibit it in the Electrical Department at the exposition. The message was received by Prof, Morse at the capitol in Washington, from an assistant in Annapolis. The American Pomologlcal Society, at its recent annual meeting in Washing ton, decided to make an exhibit class! fled by state and county associations, and also by individuals; and it appoint ed a World's Fair committee of six to confer with the Horticultural Depart ment, and to perfect arrangements. It is not thought probable now that there will be any tower at tho World’ Fair. The projectors of the most prom- ising tower scheme abandoned it when they found that they would have to take it down when the exposition closed, be cause the park commissioners refused to grant them any subsequent use of the park. The savants and historians of Italy are now deeply Interesting themselves in the xuestion of Columbus’ real birthplace. Five or six places beside Genoa claim the honor, and among them is Bottola. It is reported that proofs have lately been discovered establishing Bettola’ claim, and that the town ^wlll crept a monument to Columbus at once, and in- tends sending an envoy to the • World’i Fair with these proof* and other histori cal documents. October 80 will be “World’i Fair Day” at the Texaa State Fair at Dallas. On that day every one who owns stock In the Texas World’s Fair Association will be admitted free to the fair, and the As sociation will try to have every visitor bny some of tbe stock. Texas is trying to raise a World’s Fair fund of 1300,000, and has already made most encouraging progress. One hundred and sixty-seven counties in Texas have organized for World’s Fair work by choosing commit tees, etc, Tbe Royal and Imperial Commission ers from Orest Braitaln, Germany and Denmark, who spent a week in Chicago recently, looking into' exposition mat ters, selecting building sites, making known their wishes, and posting them, ■elves generally on World’s Fair mat ter*, departed with most satisfactory im pressions, and with tbe announced de termination of making very favorable re ports to their respective governments, and of exerting themselves to have them extensively represented at tbe fair. France has asked 25,000 and Tho Hague 11,000 square feet for their pic ture exhibits alone. Until recently It was thought that the weakest feature of the exposition would be its fine arts ex hibit. Now, however, it is believed that this will be one of the best of all, owing to tbe fact that European artists recog nize in Americans tbe beat purchasers of their work and they are anxious to take advantage of the exceptional opportun ity which the exposition will offer them to show their paintiugs to the American people. Aside from the cost of the great build- ings which will be not far from $7,000,- 000, the following are among the sums which have been or will be spent ip prep aration of the exposition grounds: Grad ing and filling, $450,000; landscape gar dening, $323,500; viaducts and bridges, $125,000; piers, $70,000; waterway im provements, (225,000; railways, $500- 000; steam plant, $800,500; electric light ing $1,500,000; statuary, $100,000; vases, lamps, etc., $50,000; lakefront adorn ment, $200,000; water supply and sew erage, $000,000; other expenses $1,000,- 000; total $5,043,500. The total expense of organization, administration nnd operation of the exposition is estimated at nearly $5,000,000. This takes no ac count of the Jumstobe spent by the government, the state* or foreign nmH/ma. An Inevitable Conflict Fending. Today, as yesterday, aa tomorrow, and as for a long time to come, the situation of Franco and Germany forms the great subject of anxiety which is imposed upon the meditation of all European statesmen. At no other point is it fore seen that war can break out Russia has great ambitions nnd Italy has strong de sires, but Russia is for years doomed merely to cherish ambitions, for she can not realize them single handed, and it does not depend npon her to provoke a general war, which would be oue resnlt of her combined action with France; while as for Italy, she will never venture to give the signal of war, for if she did she would tie left to herself and would be speedily crushed. It could be solely as tlie result of a general war that Italy could obtain her share, and in the pres ent state of her alliances! that share only geper:-! w.-ti ai- mild take til: IlHP a- 1 I mill uni Is N-itli.

Most of the shortcomings of the old method of historical writing resulted from the fact that the world was looked at from a statical pointof view, or as if a picture of the world were a series of de tached pictures of things at rest. The Unman race anil its terrestrial habitat were tacitly assumed to have been al ways very much the same as at present One age was treated much like another, and when comparisons were made it was after a manner ns different from the modem comparative method as alchemy was ilifiereut from chemistry. As men's stndies had not yet been turned in such a direction as to enaiiie them to appreciate the immensity of the results that are wronjht by the cumulative action of minute causes, they were disposed to attach too much importance to tho catastrophic and mar velous: and the agency of powerful in dividuals—which upon any sonnil theory must be regarded ns of great importance —they not only magnified nndnly but rendered it unintelligible when they sought to transform human heroes into, derai-gods. It thus appears that the way in which our forefathers treated history was part and parcel of the way in which they re garded the world, Whether in history or in the physical sciences, they found themselves confronted by a seemingly chaotic mass of facts with which they could deal only iu a vague and groping manner and in small detached groups.— Professor John Flake in Popular Science Monthly. "Onions Dolled In Mo1a.se*. George Washington, while attending a swell reception at Newport, noticed that the daughter of his host. Miss Ellery, was suffering from a severe sore throat and conld not speak ubove whisper. General Washington, observ ing this embarrassment of. his youthful hostess, said to her: .“Miss Ellery, yon seem to be suffering very much; what is the matter?” Miss Elteky told him the canse of her trouble, upon which the general said to her: “I suffer very frequently from a sore throat and take a remedy which I find very useful, and which I would recom mend to yon were I not sure you would not take it" “But I am sure," replied Mine Ellery, “that 1 would take any remedy that General Washington would propose." "Well, then," said the general, "it is this—onions boiled in molasses. It has cured me often." Miss Ellery took the remedy and, of course, was cured.—Exchange. Some Ben* Old Chine Pitchers.

No ChnIi Even for tho Rich. “It is the rich men who are apparently suffering most from the stringency of the money market," said a Wall street broker. "There are millionaires here who can't raise a thousand dollars cash without borrowing. Now, that’s a fact. They may have plenty of securities. There are lots of gilt edged securities, but they don't represent ready money. The ready money is not to be had when everybody wants it most. Then is when it slyly sinks out of sight. Then is when every man and corporation with out standing contracts gets stuck more or less."—New York Herald. ONDS. t.itri-it Harr's LatHloz- Mary Queen of Scots had a favorite Japdog. which is said to have been present at tlie execution of its poor mistress in Fotheringxy castle. After tlie royal lady had been beheaded the faithful creature refused to leave her dead body uud bad to be carried out of the hall by force. At that period lapdogs were the pets of men as well as of women. Dr. Boleyn, a relation of the nnhuppy Queen Anne Bo eyn, owned one "which," as ic is written, “he deted on." Anne once asked biu to grant her one wish and in return be should have whatever be might desire. Knowing bis affection for tbe dog, she begged it of him and of course the doctor had nothing to do but to give it to her.
